General Motors: 3 Hurt at Vehicle Assembly Plant in Detroit

Three people have been injured during a maintenance operation at the General Motors Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant.

Spokesman Tom Wickham says the incident occurred about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday as pressure was being supplied to a valve at the facility on Detroit's eastside.

Wickham says the injuries are not life-threatening. He adds that the incident was "not an explosion" and was "contained in an area of the plant away from the production" line. The cause is under investigation.
